"Beautiful place to visit. I can be here for a week. There is so much to see. Alas, I only had one day and tried to make the best of it. The architecture is gorgeous. Looking at the old buildings was enough for me. I will be back. So much more to do and see here. Make sure you visit Historic St Augustine."
"Great part of town to visit, Walk the old town shops and enjoy some of the local, authintic food. Cone and take the old town trolley and enjoy the 3M+ lights."
"Lots of people, but a nice location with an historic Spanish fort and loads of shops and restaurants"
"There are so many layers to the St. Augustine story. You can travel down any historical lens you wanted to and there would still be more. I’m particularly interested in the indigenous and Black history associated with St. Augustine. But I was surprised to find about the unique Minorcan history this last visit. It is a beautiful place in so many ways."
"What a historic town I loved seeing all the old buildings and learning about the history. We took a tour and our guide was dope. Would love to go back and spend more time walking about"
